Test the Deal - Tuesday May 11

I decided to Test the Deal after questions came up about what the "best deal" is when you add in the commissary. We are lucky to have a commissary or exchange to shop in and a lot of time what are "good deals" at other places are "great"at the commissary! I will compare the same products and coupons at different retail places to the commissary to find the best deal!

Here are how a couple of the hot deals floating around compared to the same deal in the commissary.


First is the Hydro Schick deal.
-Target
info in a previous post
Final price: 2 Hydro Schick Razors = $1.02 money maker
(some razors are ringing up cheaper in certain Targets making this as much as a $3.02 money maker)

-Commissary-
2 Hydro Schick Razors 3
2 coupons - $5/1 Schick Hydro coupons from 5/9 SS insert
Final Price: 2 free razors

Winner: Target for the money maker deal :)


Second: Still have your Nivea Body Wash $4/1 coupon?
-Target
info in a previous post
Final Price: Free Body Wash

-Commissary
Nivea Body Wash
$4/1 Nivea Body Wash from 5/2 RP insert
Final Price: Free plus overage!

Winner: Commissary, overage can go to other purchases!



Third - Gillette Body Wash Deal
-Dollar General
info in previous post
Final Price: 2 for FREE

-Commissary
2 Gillette Body Washes
$4/2 coupon from the 5/2 P&G insert
Final Price: 2 for under $3

Winner: Family Dollar

What do you think of Test the Deal? I must admit, it did not turn out like I had thought it would, but it's nice to know you can get great deals anywhere if the time and coupons are right!

I really liked your "Test the Deal" post. I shop at a couple of stores as well and wonder sometimes where the best place to take advantage of a sale and use a coupon is. I'd love if this could become a regular post. Maybe a "Test the Deal" Tuesday post every week?

Thanks!

I'm so glad you like it! I think making it a regular post is a great idea :) Do you think 3-5 deals is a good number? too many, not enough?
